BREAKING!!! Biden admin has issued a "warning order" to U.S. carriers.

First

What does this mean and what is the civil reserve?

It's too late. He will never get his head pulled out of Pelosi's ass in time.

I think it means normal air carriers, like American Airlines?

This. Commercial airliners volunteered for duty may be activated for Federal missions under CRAF provisions.

Took him long enough

Hmm. This is usually done to bring troops in… Not required for staged evacuation.

Boeing got fleet of 737 Max sitting around =) if you don’t mind autopilot.

So he's trying to safe face, just too little too late.

The airlines accept a small yearly subsidy, in return for making planes available in an emergency. These are usually wide-bodies and long range planes. The 737-Max series would qualify. Usually 175 seats or larger.

It’s a charter that you are not allowed to turn down.

At $1 million per seat, of course.

Great now he will import thousands of Afghans. What could go wrong?

So, Xiden, the DoD and the Pentagon couldn't get their shit together and organize evacuations with a massive fleet of military aircraft - some of them huge - and now want civilian aircraft used?

All this shit should have been preplaned contingencies. Clown President and Military staff.

He's gonna be able to recycle this answer :

-"It's been 4 days, 5 days."

"Turn down" is an excellent choice of words when discussing the 737 Max. "Nose down" might be better.

This is insane, sending passenger planes into a contested airfield?

The military has its own massive airlift capability.

10% goes to the Big Guy.

almost time for that Draft

Pretty sure we have never had civilian airlift fly into unsecure airfield before. The military cargo planes are popping chaff during takeoff as seen on the news. The civvies don't have the chaff protection. They need to expand the perimeter a lot in order to accommodate civilian airlift.

I think the REAL problem is the Biden/Harris admin won't free up military cargo planes from flying illegal aliens around the USA is why they have a shortage.

and probably 75% of the fighting age people are too fat and sick to be in the military. This has been planned and in the works for decades. We are being taken over and the Buy-den admin is helping them!

I suspect they'll use military aircraft to get them out of Afghanistan to a nearby friendly country, then use chartered airliners to bring them home. The military aircraft will "puddle jump" back and forth.

Not to be pedantic, but it should be more than obvious by now that illegal aliens are more important and more valued than U.S. citizens.

No worries, it's not like we left behind a bunch of surface to air missiles along with helicopters, tanks, bases, etc

This is one giant clusterfuck

The planes will be crewed by anti-vaxxers so nobody useful has to be risked.
